While Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) has been widely used for treatment of childhood disorders, the process underlying the success of CBT in this area is still unclear. This paper attempts to examine empirically the above issue, using the literature from 1974 to 1989 to see whether there is support for the underlying changes in cognitive processes that are assumed to mediate the therapy. The results show that while CBT is relatively effective in treating some childhood disorders, there is little empirical evidence to support the underlying cognitive models of childhood disorders.

The tendency to establish competing factions between insight and action therapy is like proclaiming that penicillin is better (or worse) than vitamins. Behavior therapy and insight-oriented therapy often have different aims, goals and purposes. Increased awareness and personal understanding through self-exploration is a viable goal in and of itself—especially for relatively well-functioning “behavior therapists.” Of course, most cases call for increased self-understanding and specific behavior change.

Pemberian intervensi kepada subjek diberikan sebanyak 10 sesi dimana dalam sesi awal banya dilakukan penggalian pikiran negatif penderita sebelum dilakukan perubahan kognisi dan perilaku. Hasil intervensi menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perubahan perilaku sebelum dan setelah dilakukan intervensi. Perubahan perilaku yang muncul antara lain, subjek mampu merubah pikiran negatif menjadi positif sehingga subjek menjadi paham pentingnya obat dalam kesembuhan dirinya. Hasil intervensi tersebut terus dimonitor sampai dua bulan setelah intervensi untuk melihat apakah perilaku subjek telah menetap.

A modification of the Paired-Stimuli Parent Program (Florance, 1977) was adapted for the treatment of articulatory errors of visually handicapped children. Blind high school students served as clinical aides. A discussion of treatment methodology, and the results of administrating the program to 32 children, including a two-year follow-up evaluation to measure permanence of behavior change, is presented.
